“…Lu [4] built up a three-level theory including capacity output efficiency, capacity utilization efficiency, and demand meeting efficiency. Holvad [5] thought that efficiency and productivity analysis can be used to determine the ability of entities to transform inputs into outputs. This paper holds that the transport efficiency of the urban rail transit network system refers to Appl.…”

It has been proven that developing urban rail transit (URT) is the key to solving the traffic problems in big cities, and transport efficiency is essential for scientific line planning and construction, operation management and sustainable development of urban rail transit. This paper focuses on the transport efficiency of the URT network and adopts shadow efficiency theory creatively to combine factors of passengers, capacity, and efficiency effectively. A quantitative calculation method of system utility based on “double time penalty” is proposed. According to the characteristics of Beijing URT, this paper puts forward a single optimization strategy and combinatorial optimization strategy and analyzes the results with DEA. The simulation of Beijing subway network proves the availability of the method and its optimization effects.

“…Efficiency measurement models in the area of production theory and production functions aim to indicate whether and to what extent producers' performance deviates from their expectations (Holvad, 2020). The application of methods such as efficiency measurement models to the railway sector poses some difficulties because it requires taking into account the specific characteristics of the railway market.…”

“…Analysis of the determinants of productivity and efficiency of railway undertakings should give public authorities a better understanding of which regulatory and policy instruments are important to promote productivity in the railway sector. According to Holvad, there are three main approaches to analysing the ability to transform inputs into outputs (Holvad, 2020). These are:…”

“…Approaches to better capture the complexity of railway operations in Holvad's view are econometric techniques such as Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) (Holvad, 2020). DEA method, i. e. Data Envelopment Analysis, is a semi-parametric method of analysing the results achieved by a selected economic entity or a group of such entities with a similar profile of activity, forming a sector of economy, for example the passenger or freight transport sector.…”

Improving market competitiveness and economic efficiency was the objective behind the demonopolisation and liberalisation of the railway sector in the European Union. Achieving this objective remains important and crucial to the development of a single rail transport market. The transport performance and financial results of the sector under the new, separative organisational structure of railways in the EU is the result of the action of many different actors, private operators and public entities. This significantly complicates the development of uniform and clear comparable performance evaluation indicators for the sector and makes comparative analyses difficult. Moreover, the specific situation of railways in the EU as a tool for implementing environmental and social policy may conflict with the requirements of financial efficiency. The article presents determinants and methods of measuring railway efficiency proposed by researchers and practitioners.
